The proposed antennas are enclosed within a fiberglass shroud (aka canister, smokestack)
in order to conceal them as much as possible. These shrouds will be painted to match the
existing building and the mechanical equipment is located out of sight, inside the
building.
(Ord. No. 59, 2000 §26, 616100; Ord. No. 107, 2001 §34, 6119101)
Planning OL_ Aives: AT&T Wireless at 3761 Mason Street
(10) Interference. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment shall operate in
such a manner so as not to cause interference with other electronics such as radios,
televisions or computers.
AT&T is required to operate within their frequencies, as established by the FCC.
Operation within these frequencies will not cause interference with other electronics such
as radios, televisions, or computers.
(11) Access Roadways. Access roads must be capable of supporting all of the emergency
response equipment of the Poudre Fire Authority.
Access to the property remains unchanged by this proposal.
(12) Foothills and Hogbacks. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment
located in or near the foothills bear a special responsibility for mitigating visual
disruption. If such a location is selected, ,the applicant shall provide computerized, three-
dimensional, visual simulation of the facility or equipment and other appropriate
graphics to demonstrate the visual impact on the view of the city's foothills and
hogbacks.
Not applicable. This proposal is not located in or near the City's foothills and hogbacks.
(13) Airports and Flight Paths. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment
located near airports and flight paths shall obtain the necessary approvals from the
Federal Aviation Administration.
Not applicable. This facility is not located near an airport or flight path. However, if
approvals from the FAA are determined to be needed in order to operate this facility,
AT&T will secure them.
(14) Historic Sites and Structures. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment
shall not be located on any historic site or structure unless permission is first obtained
from the city's Landmark Preservation Commission as required by Chapter 14 of the City
Code.
Not applicable. The proposed facility is not located on a historic site or structure.
(15) Stealth Technology. To the extent reasonably feasible, the applicant shall employ
"stealth technology" so as to convert the wireless telecommunication facility into
wireless telecommunication equipment, as the best method by which to mitigate andlor
camouflage visual impacts. Stealth technology consists of, but is not limited to, the use of
grain bins, silos or elevators, church steeples, water towers, clock towers, bell towers,
false penthouses or other similar "mimic" structures. Such "mimic" structures shall
have a contextual relationship to the adjacent area.
Planning Ot_ Aives: AT&T Wireless at 3761 Mason Street
building. As discussed above, the chosen design —two "smokestacks with antennas
inside" —is compatible with the design and location of this building.
(4) Landscaping. Wireless telecommunication facilities and ground -mounted wireless
telecommunications equipment may need to be landscaped with landscaping materials
that exceed the levels established in Section 3.2.1, due to the unique nature of such
facilities. Landscaping may therefore be required to achieve a total screening effect at
the base of such facilities or equipment to screen the mechanical characteristics. A heavy
emphasis on coniferous plants for year-round screening may be required.
If a wireless telecommunication facility or ground -mounted wireless telecommunication
equipment has frontage on a public street, street trees shall be planted along the roadway
in accordance with the policies of the City Forester.
Not applicable. No portion of the proposed facility will be located on the ground.
(5) Fencing. Chain link fencing shall be unacceptable to screen facilities. Fencing
material shall consist of wood, masonry, stucco or other acceptable materials and be
opaque. Fencing shall not exceed six (6) feet in height.
Not applicable. No fencing is proposed.
(6) Berming. Berms shall be considered as an acceptable screening device. Berms shall
feature slopes that allow mowing, irrigation and maintenance.
Not applicable. No portion of the proposed facility will be located on the ground.
(7) Irrigation. Landscaping and berming shall be equipped with automatic irrigation
systems meeting the water conservation standards of the city.
Not applicable. No landscaping or berming is proposed.
(8) Color. All wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment shall be painted to
match as closely as possible the color and texture of the wall, building or surrounding
built environment. Muted colors, earth tones and subdued colors shall be used.
The proposed antennas inside their canister "smokestacks" will be painted to match the
existing color of the building. A photosimulation is enclosed for your reference.
(9) Lighting. The light source for security lighting shall be high pressure sodium and
feature down -directional, sharp cut-off luminaries so that there is no spillage of
illumination off -site. Light fixtures, whether freestanding or tower -mounted, shall not
exceed twenty-two (22) feet in height.
Not applicable. No lighting is proposed.
Planning OL .:tives: AT&T Wireless at 3761 Mason Street
Each set of antennas will protrude approximately 5 feet from the highest point of the
building. Each canister is 2'-2" in diameter, and approximately 5 feet in length. A cut
sheet of the antennas is enclosed for your referral —three of these antennas will be
contained within each canister.
This particular antenna design was chosen for a variety of reasons. AT&T only requires
six small antennas at this site, which could be concealed rather easily in two canisters.
The existing and surrounding buildings look sort of industrial in nature, that is they are
very basic, painted neutral colors —some using galvanized steel as part of the building
materials. We felt that this "smokestack" approach would able us to conceal our
antennas while integrating them into the building's (and neighborhood's) overall design
and character.
The equipment will be located inside the building on the second floor, completely out of
sight.
(3) Wireless Telecommunication Equipment. Wireless telecommunication equipment shall
be of the same color as the building or structure to which or on which such equipment is
mounted.
The equipment for the proposed facility will be located inside the building on the second
floor, completely out of sight.
Whenever a wireless telecommunication antenna is attached to a building roof, the height
of the antenna shall not be more than fifteen (1 S) feet over the height of the building. All
wireless telecommunication equipment shall be located as far from the edge of the roof as
possible. Even if the building is constructed at or above the building height limitations
contained in Section 3.8.17, the additional fifteen (15) feet is permissible.
Each canister is 5 feet above the roof to which it is attached, which is allowed under the
City of Fort Collins Land Use Code.
Whenever wireless telecommunication equipment is mounted to the wall of a building or
structure, the equipment shall be mounted in a configuration as ,flush to the wall as
technically possible and shall not project above the wall on which it is mounted.
Not applicable. The equipment is located inside the building and the antennas meet the
regulations as stated above —they are mounted to the roof, not the wall of the building.
Roof- and ground -mounted wireless telecommunication equipment shall be screened by
parapet walls or screen walls in a manner compatible with the buildings design, color
and material.
The proposed antennas are enclosed within a cylindrical fiberglass screen, which, along
with the pole to which it is mounted, will be painted to match the existing color of the

3.8.13 Wireless Telecommunication
(A) Location. Subject to the requirements of paragraph (B) of this Section, wireless
telecommunication equipment may be attached to or mounted on any existing building or
structure (or substantially similar replacement structure) located in any zone district of
the city. Wireless telecommunication equipment shall not, however, be permitted to be
attached to or mounted on any residential building containing four (4) or fewer dwelling
units.
(B) Co -location. No wireless telecommunication facility or equipment owner or lessee or
employee thereof shall act to exclude or attempt to exclude any other wireless
telecommunication provider from using the same building, structure or location. Wireless
telecommunication facility or equipment owners or lessees or employees thereof, and
applicants for the approval of plans for the installation of such facilities or equipment,
shall cooperate in good faith to achieve co -location of wireless telecommunication
facilities and equipment. Any application for the approval of a plan for the installation of
wireless telecommunication facilities or equipment shall include documentation of the
applicant's good faith efforts toward such cooperation.
(C) Standards.
(1) Setbacks. With respect to a wireless telecommunication facility that is a tower or a
monopole, the setback of the facility from the property lines shall be one (1) foot for
everyfoot of height. However, to the extent that it can be demonstrated that the structure
will collapse rather than topple, this requirement can be waived by the Director. In
addition, the setbacks for ground -mounted wireless telecommunication equipment shall
be governed by the setback criteria established in Articles 3 andlor 4.
Not applicable. This proposal does not involve a freestanding facility.
(2) Wireless Telecommunication Facilities. Whether manned or unmanned, wireless
telecommunication facilities shall be consistent with the architectural style of the
surrounding architectural environment (planned or existing) considering exterior
materials, roof form, scale, mass, color, texture and character. Such facilities shall also
be compatible with the surrounding natural environment considering land forms,
topography, and other natural features. If such facility is an accessory use to an existing
use, the facility shall be constructed out of materials that are equal to or better than the
materials of the principal use.
The proposed project, located at 3761 S. Mason Street consists of two sets of roof -
mounted antennas. Each set is contained within a cylindrical fiberglass canister or shroud
(also called a smokestack), which has been designed to conceal the antennas from the
naked eye. This shroud will be pipe mounted to the roof at the lowest portion of the
building and attached alongside the highest portion of the roof on the west side of the
building. The canister and mounting pole will be painted to match the existing building.
